DVD copy protection
In accordance with the DVD standard, your DVD player is equipped with a Copy Protection system, which can be switched on
and off by the DVD disc itself, in order to make any recording of the relevant DVD disc onto a videotape of very poor picture
quality, or even impossible. “This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of
certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this
copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home use only unless
otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.”

Chapter 1 Connections and Setup
EN
Some points to check before you connect
• Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification
sticker located on the back of your appliance.
• Install your appliance horizontally, away from any source of heat (fireplace) or appliances
creating strong magnetic or electric fields.The components of this appliance are sensitive to
heat.The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius.
• Leave sufficient space around the appliance to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm on either side
and at the rear, as well as 7 cm above the top are ideal.
• The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%. If you have to use the appliance outdoors,
do not expose it to rain or splashing water.The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping
or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.
•Moving it from a cold environment to a warm one is likely to cause condensation on some
components inside the appliance. Let the condensation disappear of its own accord before
turning the appliance on again.
• Before moving the player, make sure the disc tray is empty.

• In order to avoid any risk of explosion, observe the polarities indicated inside the battery
compartment. Replace only with the type of batteries specified above. Do not dispose of them in a
fire or recharge them.
• If you are not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries.
• Please respect the environment and prevailing regulations. Before you dispose of

Discs you can play
While advances have been made to ensure that your disc player is compatible with the largest number of discs
possible, it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to play discs which might not be compliant with audio CD,
VCD and SVCD standards. In the case of writable and rewritable discs, compatibility with this player depends on the
DVD writer, the write software and the disc used.
DVD-Video
Digital video discs - 12 cm and 8 cm, single or double sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are high-density optical discs on
which high quality picture and audio are recorded by means of digital signals.
DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW
Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs (rewritable). Depending on the
DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made in Video DVD mode.
Recordings using DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specifications for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.
VCD - Video Compact Disc
CD on which you can record up to 74 min. of VHS-quality video associated with still images, audio tracks and
interactive menus.
SVCD - Super Video Compact Disc
Most SVCDs comply with the IEC62107 standard. SVCDs can be used to record up to 70 minutes of digital sound and images in
accordance with MPEG-2 standards for video and MPEG-1 standards for audio.
Audio CDs
Audio CDs (8 and 12 cm).
CD-R, CD-RW
Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs (rewritable).
This player can play most CD-R discs. CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can also be played, provided that the
session has ended before the disc is played (depending on the write software). However, depending on the condition of the CD-
writer, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely
normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognise the disc before starting to play. If the disc is not recognised after a
period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it again.
• Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use its full capacity. • CD-Rs should be preferably used instead
of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty. • Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.
• Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.
mp3 files
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in mp3 format. As for CD-R mp3 discs, please follow all the
recommendations for CD-R above, along with the comments below:
• Your mp3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet mp3 files are compatible with Microsoft’s DOS
and Windows, as well as with Apple Mac.These two formats are the most widely used. • mp3 filenames should not exceed 12
characters, and should end with the “.mp3” extension. General name format:Title.mp3. When composing your title ensure that you
use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including ( . , / , \ , = ,+).• Use a
decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording mp3 files. Sound quality with mp3 files
basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Obtaining audio CD quality sound requires an
analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to mp3 format, of at least 128 kB/sec and up to 160 kB/sec. Choosing higher rates,
such as 192 kB/sec or more, only rarely produces even better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128 kB/sec
will not play properly. • Do not try recording copyright-protected mp3 files.“Securized” files are encrypted and code-protected to
prevent illegal copying.You must not copy such files.
Important:The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play mp3
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality.You should note that certain technologies and methods for mp3 file
recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (i.e. degraded sound quality and
even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file).
JPEG files
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot be read by this player.
WMA files
CD-R with WMA files.
NTSC playback on 60Hz PAL TV set
In addition to the PAL DVDs and VCDs, you can enjoy your NTSC films as well (a 60 Hz PAL compatible TV set is required).

socket.
Notes:
Depending on the video recorder or satellite or cable receiver, this type of connection may affect the quality
of the pictures produced by the DVD player.
If your video recorder only has one Scart socket, but has a modulator, use the aerial cable to connect the
video recorder to the television set, adjust the video recorder’s modulator, then connect the DVD player to the
video recorder’s Scart socket.
2. Connect the video recorder (or satellite receiver) to the television set as shown in the user

This socket offers a higher level of sound quality
compared to that provided using an analogue audio
connection.The coaxial cable is not supplied with the
device.
Other connection options
The basic connections (described on page 4) are for standard-quality sound and high-quality
